Out now, Adoro Te Devote is a gorgeous new piece from Erland Cooper. Written with the tranquil approval of his rescue dog, Mirage Morricone, the track blends an effulgent mix of Gregorian chant, strings and tape loops to create an utterly transportive and uplifting sound, "as if Hildegard von Bingen was having a cup of tea with Satoshi Ashikawa and Brian Eno" 🐕
"Perhaps Gregorian chant was a precursor to modern ambient music, really spatial, non-metric and meditative, just giving space for a listener to reflect in a sacred place"—Erland

"Waltz Of The Flowers is a cornerstone of my classical upbringing, reimagined now through the lens of my electroacoustic voice. Tchaikovsky's iconic waltz, once a ritual etched into my hands, becomes here a memory refracted: delicate, dreamlike."—Lara Somogyi

Close your eyes and slip into a sleepy soundtrack for sweet dreams, as Erland Cooper presents musical selections close to his heart, guided by the elemental, the natural world and his experiences growing up in Orkney. A brand new series of Ultimate Calm is now on BBC Sounds.
In this maiden episode, Erland starts in the realm of sleep and dreams, with a selection of soporific sounds with music by Satoshi Park, Ganavya and Cerys Hafana, as well as an exclusive and unreleased piece by Erland himself, written for his dog, Mirage Morricone 🐕

Planted in 2021, unearthed and digitised in 2024, and released as it sounded from the earth exactly one year ago to the day, Erland Cooper's remarkable achievement and classical number one album, Carve the Runes, today celebrates its first anniversary. Of course, the record continues to evolve and grow as we become ever more familiar with its melodies and textures, twists and turns, and to that end, perhaps where it was once planted in the soil, it now holds root in our minds, where we continue to water it regularly 🌱
"What could have emerged erased to silence, is far from that. I'm grateful."—Erland
